This report is an outlook of Labour's 2015 agenda, Ed Miliband's
preparation for government. It is intended both for those currently
working with public sector, and those considering this market for the

With just sixteen months to go until the next General Election, most
opinion polls for now point to Ed Miliband heading towards Downing
Street, though whether it is with an overall majority or as part of
another Coalition government is unclear. Labour, however, has some way
to go until its policy platform is complete, and this is particularly
the case in respect of its views on public procurement and technology
policy.
